Year End approaching. 2015 has been a rocky year.. how did it felt like? It felt like nothing in 2016 could go worst =)

Stock market took a beating, luckily I had strategies that limited my losses and high gain strategies to maintain my profits. My last recommendation for the year 2015. I just sold puts for SVXY Jan 16 50 Puts for a cool 9% returns in 1 month.

Looking into 2016 and onwards, I have many goals to set.

being a better person, I know this year I have left old friends out. time management could be improved here. this year is a rock bottom for me.

helping more people attain financial freedom

a 400K goal

do at least 2 things that is on my bucket list. from solo sky jump to kite boarding to para motor to getting a tatoo.. I may die doing so.. but what the hack..

ultimately to be the best of me, so I can be my best to everyone around me..

As the financial market looks forward towards a rate hike, as history shows it, 90% of the time after a rate hike, the markets will surge to all time highs before crashing down. Right now, the energy looks superbly position for long term investment ( as long the company fundamentals hasn't changed )

I can't predict energy market has hit it's bottom but I'm pretty sure it's around there. I just spent 1 solid hour listening to the CEO of NOV speak. Having the same sediments, I'll increase my exposure to the energy markets.

Random rants:I'm sure most of you have experienced this. Some days are just so bad. Today is just one of them. From having an accounts without cow sense to income tax authority of Singapore just being an idiot. Running a business, the joys of helping others make a living and providing a good product, it's just awesome. BUT BUT, dealing with idiots just sucks the energy out of you.

On the part dealing with IRAS, I sent them a nasty, factual and sarcastic email. I was trying to claim grants which would greatly help my company be more productive. However, this year is different. Letter below:

Hi,I just received your letter dated XXXX. My company tax reference: XXXX. I also called the helpline just now. I have read through your requirements and I'm speechless.

Your appendix contains 2 full pages of small fonts stating you need business details, proof, transactions, bank statements, delivery order, relationship and the list goes on and on for 2 full pages.

Yes I understand you guys are being careful as you got scam by people who abuse the system. I used to do work as a civil servant too, so I get what you are doing. However this is too extreme.

I have submitted a form with 64 items. With all your requirements stated, do you know how long it will take doing nothing but just answering all your points? Which includes digging out such old transactions and also going tothe bank, paying them $$ to dig out where the $$ came out from. What if the transaction came through credit card 2 years ago? The irony of this becomes super unproductive and a waste of time ( lots of time ).I have no problems meeting your requirements as I have all the receipts and notes ready for your checking, but COMMON, what you are doing is extreme.

Previously, when in doubt, IRAS will send me a document stating they need proof for certain items. I'm happy to help as I know IRAS is doing their due diligence. I will go get the documents even if it means going to the bank and payingthem to dig out old transactions. Now this is just being lazy by just sending an appendix which covers everything. This makes me SUPER unproductive while trying to claim productivity grant. Do note, mine is only a small business withless then 20 employees so whatever you ask for, I gotta do it myself, same like most SMEs out there. We don't have the luxury of a personal assistant.

Last week, I concluded the trials for option mastery program. Lots of lessons on improving thanks to the awesome feedback I got. Some people wonder, how do I make 6 figures a year? Yea those will be answered during the program to show you how I did it and how you can do it too.

Sometimes, actually most times, after a super intense options class, most will walk home blur. I had my days too. The most important stuff is equipping them the knowledge and thereafter post my exact trades for people to learn. Sharing my trades will greatly help students see how I think and speed up their learning curve exponentially. There will be tons of scenarios that will come by thus this will help greatly.

Recently I did a Bull Call on CTSH for a potential of 138% returns, and posted a chart for LGF and letting them think of the different strategies they could implement.

During the trial run, tho a small group, I've received almost to a 1000 bucks from donations. Thank you. These $$ were meant to cover for all sorts of cost from admin to printing to collection to basically everything. Extras were meant to be donated away.I decided, what the hack, want to help.. help all the way. I donated a 1000 bucks to http://sosd.org.sg/ SOSD has obtained our IPC status with effect from 28 April 2015.

My reasons for doing so: Unlike humans, in Singapore, we won't die no matter how poor we become. The govt will step in ( for my understanding ) On the other hand, animal's survival purely depends on the decisions we humans make, making them helpless if we decide to turn on them. To most people, dogs are just pets. For dogs, we are all they have. Thus my heart goes out to them.

Reasons for closing: Upon selling puts, few days later it broke my support dropping to $165. Showing a little weakness in the short run, generally I like to find growth stocks and hate it when I'm wrong... so I waited a little while, as the stock shot back up, I'm taking this chance to close the position as it may come back down. Going to redeploy my cash for another company ( CTSH )
